thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it's the bitcoin influence or radio waves beaming in from outer space but I also feel that strange appreciation for Christianity that I didn't have before. it's odd to me because I would normally think an obsession with financial things like Bitcoin should be a distraction from religion/spirituality but the two seem to make room for each other somehow.

I only noticed Bitcoin because I'm Christian. I didn't really care about this stuff, before.

I haven't always been a Christian.

Never have been, never will he.. Considering there is string evidence that suggests computers existed 1000s of years ago.. Likely 10-100's of thousands of years ago.. The bible is laughable..

I love the idea that we were more advanced in the past. looking back on today in a few hundred years maybe like us looking back at the dark ages.

responding to : the Bible is laughable

I honestly wish it were. I wish I had a better grasp of other ancient texts to compare them. I hold the Bible in too high regard perhaps from inculcation as a child. I only know Book of Mormon to a certain degree as another religious text. I wonder if Bitcoin is becoming a thing in the Mormon community

I always figured that Christians appreciate bitcoin for these types of reasons.

LOL

this also highlights the "fuck you money" aspect of the early adopters of bitcoin

such a pithy statement that has withstood the test of time. I think it may be a kernel for understanding bitcoin

was it the book "thank God for Bitcoin" or something else that made the connection for you?

No, it was #[4] and his article upon Bitcoin being time.

thank you. I am now reading "Bitcoin is Time " by Gigi

Yeah. It's sort of funny reading his older articles, now, because the philosophical concepts were groundbreaking and now they're just consensus and it's hard to imagine everyone not already thinking that way.

It's become a historical data point, in a way.

I first heard about it on the Keiser Report, tho. From Max and nostr:npub1pq2ll9l7qdmxsfqyrd5w9gul8c7ftqy9yepcqvc8a2l2ys9zhd6sk42rew

I have to tune Max Keiser tweets out because he's so good at making me feel like I need to move somewhere else.

I need a Ven diagram of what places will survive bitcoinization, the pole shift, this years' elections...

and hopefully have some good bike protected lanes.

The Alps.

just make sure you stock up on at least 3-5 years of wood at a time

I need to also add "warm weather and no snow" to the intersecting bubbles of requirements

or wait, are you saying that the Alps are going to be repositioned in the tropics? if so, that sounds like a fun ride

yeah, if the pole is in the carribean then they move to subtropical

it's just not a good place to be now in the absence of a functioning grid or logistics network

i wonder where Central America is going in this scenario. I'm thinking Guatemala is the best place to move as it's close to El Salvador to benefit from their policies and economics but may be less expensive

yeah, yucatan i have heard is quite nice too

and yeah, a transitional plan might make sense, to be more ready to make the harder move you want to do later when needed with a lower short term cost

though i personally am happy with western balkans as my choice, it is well situated and already pretty comfortable

so if the Alps move to warmer climate, that would be great. kinda like this book about the elephant that transported the grandma's house from cold snowy climates to Florida, after eating all the pickles.

Not Maine, but yes Maine because bike lanes aren't such an issue when everyone but the richest are out of gas

Need to read it again, thanks.
